X-SQLT 1.2
==========

"X-SQLT (Extended SQL Transformation)"" is a free-form, declarative, XML-based
language used to describe a series of commands for data exchange and transformations,
that can be performed on databases, data files or structured documents.
It is designed to allow easy selection, conversion and transformation of data
using SQL, XML, XSLT, XPath and scripting languages (VBScript, JavaScript, etc).

"X-SQLT Command-line Processor" is a console application, that implements
all language specifications and allows you to perform specified tasks
by using generally available technologies, like ADO DB, MSXML and WSH,
and by supporting common data formats (XML, CSV and JSON) and
transformations (XSLT, XPath, VBScript, JScript, etc).
